Celebrating increasing collaboration between societies, the British Society for Immunology and the Biochemical Society have created this curated collection of articles from Immunology, Clinical & Experimental Immunology, and the Biochemical Society journals. It features key topics across the field of immunology, including autoimmunity, immune cell development, immunometabolism and inflammation.
We hope you enjoy reading this collection of articles.
